Fixed Color Cameras
AUTOMATIC ELECTRONIC SHUTTER (AES)
The Automatic Electronic Shutter (AES) feature compensates for excessive light levels by
automatically adjusting the shutter speed of the camera. Select
ON
or
OFF
using the
AES
dip
switch. The default setting is
OFF
.
When using video drive or direct drive (DC) auto-iris lenses, AES must be turned
OFF
. When
using a fixed or manual iris lens, AES must be turned
ON
.
SYNCHRONIZATION (SYNC) SELECTION (LL/INT)
Use the
SYNC
dip switch to select the camera synchronization mode. When the camera is
connected to an AC power supply, select linelock mode by setting the dip switch to
LL
. This
locks the camera frame rate to the mains frequency so that cameras in a system are triggered
at the same point on the AC cycle. Linelock should be disabled when using DC power or a noisy
AC power supply. To do this, set the dip switch to
INT
.
If the
SYNC
dip switch is set to
LL
, manual phase adjustments can be performed using the two
push buttons located on the rear of the camera. To activate these push buttons for manual
phase adjustments, set the
WHT BAL/PHASE
dip switch to
PHASE
.
The push buttons will then
allow the user to advance or retard the line lock phase trigger point by ±180
O
(360
O
of adjustment).
The factory default setting is the zero crossing point. To reset the trigger point to the factory
default setting, press and hold both push buttons.
WHITE BALANCE (WB)
Two white balance modes can be selected using the
WB
dip switch. For the majority of
applications, the
AUTO
setting will provide excellent color rendition and is the default setting.
However, there may be instances where it is necessary to set the white balance manually. To
do this, set the
WB
dip switch to
MAN
.
If the
WB
dip switch is set to
MAN
, adjustments to the red and blue components of the scene
can be performed manually using the two push buttons located on the rear of the camera. To
activate these push buttons for white balance adjustment, set the
WHT BAL/PHASE
dip switch
to
WHT BAL
. To reset white balance to factory settings, press and hold both push buttons.

drive (DC) auto-iris versions. Compatible lens sizes are 1/3, 1/2, 2/3 and 1. Cameras are
